Happy Birthday Ronnie!
Thanks for the BD wishes guys, I had a great day and night!
Lots of cake and ice cream and some beautiful gifts. I got a mouse pad with a pic of Domenic on it that say "I love my Noni" it's so cute! A Barnes and Nobles gift card and a pretty sweater. Lou ordered me a new camera strap and is making me a preachers bench for the kitchen entry way.
Dinner plans were put on hold until tomorrow night, we will go to my favorite restaurant for mussels marinara.
Happy Birthday.
What is a preachers bench?
I cook up dozens and dozens of mussels every Christmas eve. Such a pain because no doing ahead of time and it is done in batches. MBut this year I am going to change it up and make pasta with clam sauce and add mussels and crab just to keep the traditionalists quiet.
Sounds like you had a great birthday.
Thanks Rosie! A preacher bench is a seat much like those used in churches on the alter, hence the name. High backs with curved low arms. Mine will have a seat that lifts for storage. I'll post a pic when it's all done.
I love mussels but never make my own, tried once and lost my appetite! LOL I'll leave the messy stuff to the chefs!
Almost missed the big event, Ronnie! Enjoy the dinner whenever you have it! Happy Birthday
Thanks Jan!
Nice presents....love the preacher's bench & Barnes & Noble is a great place to spend money!
Happy belated, Ronnie! Hope you had a great one.
Thank you Victor it was nice!
happy belated, Ronnie!
Thanks Lucy and Rosemary!
What was it like to have a birthday close to thanksgiving? Did you ever have "practice" pies at your birthday dinner?
No practice pies Rosemary! LOL
I just found out one of my co-workers wedding anniversary was last wed.. who does that????.. LOL.. guess it's good to schedule a vacation though
The reception hall and the band are still cheaper than in June, I bet. Would the flowers be mums? Sorry I don't grow mums to post for Ronnie's birthday thread.
Thanks Karen!
